Word Games Pack

What is available in Word Games Pack? Five great games.  Our team has spent a lot of time developing these games for maximum enjoyment and playability – including beautiful graphics and in-depth word/quote lists. At the request of our users, we have added sounds to all games (optional).

1. Word Search – 50 categories available in the full game. 3 levels of difficulties, 3 game modes, plus many other settings. Games are randomly generated so you can play the same category over and over. Trophies are available to motivate you to check out all the categories as well as statistics for game play.
2. Hangman – 50 categories available to all users. 2 levels of difficulties and 2 options for numbers of tries/guesses available. (I recommend 9 tries so that you see all the phrases associated with each character). Trophies are available to motivate you to check out all the categories as well as statistics for game play. It is well worth purchasing extra stars to check out additional characters in the game.
3. Quote Falls – 26 categories with multiple quotes available in each of them. Easy categories include shorter quotes and Hard categories include longer quotes. Various settings and stats available.
4. Kriss Kross – 41 categories available in the full game. Games are randomly generated so you can play the same category over and over. Track your game play with statistics.
5. Speed Words – Categories for words starting with each letter of the alphabet in the full game. Challenge yourself to see how quickly you can find the required words for each level. Check out the additional game and time modes and statistics for game play. Note: This is an original game by the 7 Dragons team.

Update

The update of the paid version of Word Games Pack increases the number of games from two to five. The original release worked well on the original Kindle Fire, but not on newer versions of the Kindle Fire. Make sure you get the update if you already have purchased the original release.

Word Games Pack is rated 4.2 out of 5 stars on 16 customer reviews based on two games on the original device.

The 5 game version of Word Games Pack on the Nook is rated 4.5 stars out of 5 stars on 354 customer reviews.  The Nook store has had all five games out for a while and the reviews can provide additional details for interested users.

Games

The following screenshots show each of the games in play on the Kindle Fire.

Games can have from 9-12 words in them. Choose from 3 game modes of Visible Words, First Letter Visible and Invisible Words. Drag your finger across the word or tap the first and last letter to highlight them. Hints are available.

Play Hangman with 7 or 9 tries available in each game. One hint per game. We have added different graphics and sayings for all purchasable characters: Tart the Apple, Teddy the Teddy Bear, Tiny the Elephant, Lorelei the Mermaid, Bob the Office Worker (my favorite), Juicy the Orange, Cap’n the Pirate, Floppy the Rabbit, Sam the Sheep, and Sunny the Sunflower. Juicy the Orange is shown in the above screenshot.

Quote Falls is a game involving the transcribing of a mixed up quote. Make sure you check out the How To Play section for a walkthrough of how to solve these puzzles. Reveal Letter provides hints as needed.

Kriss Kross is a variation on crossword puzles where you use logic to enter words from the word list into the puzzle grid. Use Hint if you get stuck and Keys to enter words in the grid.

Speed Words provides you with a base word and a number of words that need to be found in a specific period of time. Find the required number of words and you can move on to the next level. See how many levels you can complete and how many game stars you can earn.

What is 3 Hidden Objects Adventures?

3 Hidden Objects Adventures is a Hidden Objects Game with three original and intriguing stories that are each illustrated with images that have various objects hidden in them. The majority of the images have 15 objects hidden in them and we tried to keep the objects realistic to the scene.

We looked long and hard at the Hidden Objects apps available and wanted to make our app special and something that would interest the entire family. We also put a lot of care into selecting and hiding the objects to make the scenes challenging and interesting.

Each Hidden Object Adventure has three playing options. You can select the options (and use various settings) to meet your current playing needs and interests.
1.Scenes and Story – this is the “full treatment” of the Hidden Object Adventure. Immerse yourself in the Hidden Object Adventure and experience the adventure by reading the store and search for the Hidden Objects. We recommend this option for the first time through each adventure to get the full experience.
2.Scenes Only – this option provides Hidden Object scenes only. The adventure story line is left out.
3.Bonus Scenes – each story has between 5-8 bonus scenes. They might be scenes that were cut from the adventure or have different items hiding in them.

Note: To get the full adventure – make sure you read the Backstory in each adventure before diving into the Scenes & Story.

We hope that you will enjoy the adventures and the Hidden Objects images and play them time and time again. The 5ivedom team has spent literally thousands of hours working on the app, images, stories and design. I have played through these stories countless times myself and still can’t remember where all the objects are and enjoy following the stories and scenes and being drawn into the action. We also hope you enjoy the original music developed by Arjun Kaul. We feel that this music makes each adventure that much more special.

After the Apocalypse

World War III has happened … and it’s worse than anything anyone could have imagined. You head out from Boston Enclave to find your family in Texas. Gather the objects you need to protect yourself and to complete your journey.

After the Apocalypse – 3 Hidden Objects Adventures HD

In After the Apocalypse you will travel across much of the United States trying to survive against all odds. What will it take to survive? Will you be able to get back with your family?

After the Apocalypse Scene – 3 Hidden Objects Adventures HD for Kindle Fire

This is just one of the Hidden Object images in After the Apocalypse. Tap on the Nook screen to find each object and use Hint if you get stuck. Objects are listed in the lower left hand corner.

Lost at the Zoo

Adventurous twins get lost at the zoo and their worried father is challenged to find them. A great way to learn more about various zoo animals, insects, reptiles, and rodents as you follow the twins trail to various animal habitats.

Lost at the Zoo – 3 Hidden Objects Adventures HD for Kindle Fire

In Lost at the Zoo, a worried father tries to figure out where his twins will go next after he loses track of them at the zoo. This story is particularly good to enjoy with young children as you learn about different animals, birds, rodents, and bugs.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9″

Then came the announcement that sent even more oooh’s and aaah’s out and made my covetous little heart and brain go pitty pat.

A Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ tablet would be coming out on November 20th.  Just in time for my birthday! (In case my family and friends are reading this).

Not a 10″ tablet (so they can be differentiated from the iPad) but a 9″ tablet (I am not going to keep calling it an 8.9″ tablet). I’ll work up some direct comparisons between the two devices later, but here are the initial specs for the new kid(s) on the block:

Display: 8.9″ HD LCD Technology

Resolution: 1920×1200

Audio: Dolby Audio dual-driver stereo speakers

Connectivity: Dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi (on base models)

Storage: 16GB or 32GB on device, 32GB or 64GB on 4G device

Dimensions: 9.45″ x 6.5″ x 0.35″

Weight: 20 oz

Processor: Dual-core, 1.5GHz OMAP4470

Battery Life: ??

Interface: 10 point multi-touch (I don’t know what this means – unless I can use all 10 fingers at once).

<—-The Prices—->

Here is where Amazon drew a mental standing ovation.  Their prices are a steal. And they know it – because all they really want is you to use their devices to buy more stuff in their store and it is worth it to them.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ 16 GB    $199

Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ 32 GB    $349

Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ 4G LTE Wireless 32 GB  $499

Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ 4G LTE Wireless 64 GB  $599

I’m sure you are thinking – Wow! That is cheap!  I’m sure they will rip me off for the wireless.  But no – they are offering wireless for 250 MB a month for 12 months with a one-time payment of $49.99 – no monthly payments.

While 4G is not available everywhere, this does appear to be a decent wireless plan and will allow us all to connect with the Amazon store and order even more items. 

I hope you are all excited to see what reviews are like on these new devices.  I know I am. 

Keep checking back and I’ll provide more details as I find them.

Kindle Fire (?2?)

First we hear that the original Kindle Fire will be no more. Yay!  Take away the clunky look and that stupid power button on the bottom that is such a pain.  But wait!  That is wrong.  The Kindle Fire will be coming back.  Only it is not the same Kindle Fire.  Hmmmm.  On September 14 a new basic Kindle Fire will be released.  It will be available for $159 and offer many of the feature that the previous Kindle Fire offered. 

No word on the button.  If they keep the button – I’ll probably write them out of my will.

As advertised by Amazon, this new Kindle Fire is “All new – 40% faster performance, twice the memory, longer battery life”.  All new – I doubt it.  It doesn’t look that different.  40% faster performance will be great.  Twice the memory – I think this is deceptive advertising because my current Kindle Fire shows 5.37 GB of Internal Storage available and the new Kindle Fire advertises 8 GB of memory, with about 5.5 GB available for user content.  Since the memory didn’t suddenly go from 4 GB to 8 GB – either my math is faulty or Amazon’s is (my guess is it is not me). Longer battery life – this can be advertised if it is even one second longer. 

Still – $159 for the Kindle Fire is a good price, especially if they made improvements (unfortunately – it doesn’t appear the carousel went away either).

What is new and interesting? Kindle Free Time parental controls (more on this in another post), Whispersync for voice/movies/books/games (this got my attention and will be mentioned more in another post too), Immersion Reading (just assume all of these wil have another post), Xray for books/movies, new email app, better Facebook integration.

Kindle Fire HD

Kindle Fire HD really got my attention.  I’m thinking this is the Kindle Fire 2 that we were all anticipating.  A new version of Kindle Fire 7″ tablet with all the beauty of an HD device.  Also available on September 14th (I will be going into hiding that weekend with my new Kindle Fire HD), Kindle Fire HD has a reasonable initial price of $199 for a 16 GB version and 32 GB for a 32 GB version. I think my Google Nexus 7 16GB was $125 – so this is a very good and competitive deal for a  7″ tablet with 16 GB of memory.

I’ll be posting much more information when I have one in my grubby little hands – but here are some of the specs to make your mouth water….

Display: 7″ HD LCD Technology

Resolution: 1280x800p HD

Audio: Dolby Audio dual-driver stereo speakers

Connectivity: Dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi

Storage: 16GB or 32GB on device

Weight: 13.9 oz

Processor: Dual-core, 1.2GHz OMAP4460

Battery Life: 11 hours of continuous use

Interface: 10 point multi-touch (I don’t know what this means – unless I can use all 10 fingers at once).

Lighter than the Kindle Fire, but larger in size – 7.6″ x 5.4″ for Kindle Fire HD vs 7.44″ x 4.72″ for Kindle Fire.

I still have a lot of digging to do – but the screen looked beautiful and responsive.  This is definitely an improvement over the original Kindle Fire and probably more of what Amazon had originally intended the KF to be before they released a beta device.

Even more exciting to me – this new device appears to have actual, well designed buttons on the side and not a big, annoying button on the bottom.

Stay tuned tomorrow for details on the new crown prince of the Kindle Fire family.

Kindle Paperwhite

Kindle Paperwhite is the new kid on the block of kindle e-readers.  When Barnes & Noble announced the Nook Simple Touch with Glow Light earlier in 2012, it was only a matter of time before Amazon sat down at the poker game and either raised the bid or folded.  My guess was that they were going to stay competitive and hopefully, for them, the Kindle Paperwhite will be the answer.

The Kindle Paperwhite is replacing the Kindle Touch.  I’m not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.  When I got my Kindle Touch last year, I thought it was the worst Kindle ever created and a major step backward (even more than the Kindle that was released right before it).  No buttons, much slower in some aspects, and very few apps being ported over to it. I was hoping they would update the Kindle at least with a backlight, but the gurus at Amazon obviously didn’t want my opinion.

I do admit that I am very interested in a Kindle with a backlight.  I think e-ink is far superior in many circumstances to carrying a heavier tablet around and the ability to read in low or no light has its appeals.  I’ll probably break down and add one to my collection.

What looks interesting about the Kindle Paperwhite?  Here is some basic information:

Price:  $119 for the basic model with special offers, $139 for the basic model without special offers. $179 for the 3G model with special offers, $199 for the 3G model without special offers.

Screen size: 6″ – same as Kindle and Kindle Touch

Display Technology: Paperwhite Built-in light (as opposed to e-ink pearl for Kindle and Kindle Touch)

Resolution: 212 PPI (167 PPI on other Kindles)

Audio: No speakers – so don’t count on Text To Speech either

Storage: 2 GB on the device plus Amazon Cloud storage

Weight: 7.5 oz / 7.8 oz (3G)

Battery Life: up to 8 weeks with WiFi off.  (4 weeks with WiFi off for the Kindle and 8 weeks with Wifi off for the Kindle Touch).  They made this sound like such a big thing – but you can see we already had the 8 weeks on past models.  It is neat that the extra light doesn’t appear to drain the battery more.

<——–Things not mentioned but that should be considered———->

Charging – Amazon likes to announce that you don’t need a computer at all when you have a Kindle.  Everything can be downloaded wirelessly.  They do forget to mention that the newer Kindles actually need to be plugged into a USB port (I guess some people have these in their cars) and most people will need to either buy the additional power adapter or plug it into a computer to charge.

Apps – the Kindle store at Amazon does not seem to think much in advance about apps.  They don’t really let developers know if an app will work on a new device until the new device is released (we learned this the hard way).  They are no longer requiring all apps work on all e-readers since late 2011.  Only a small percentage of apps that work on the earlier Kindle e-readers work on the Kindle Touch.  This is a replacement for the Kindle Touch.  However, that doesn’t mean that any Kindle Touch apps will work on the Kindle Paperwhite (which might make it a Kindle Paperweight for app lovers). If apps are important, you might want to hold off making a decision on this device.

Who will the Kindle Paperwhite be great for?  Lovers of Kindle e-readers that read a lot and those who no longer want to hook a portable light on their Kindle e-reader.  This should be a very good addition to the Kindle e-reader fold.

Kindle

To keep competition strong, Amazon has reduced the price of the Kindle (with 5 way controller) from $79 to $69. Already one of the lowest priced e-readers on the market, this makes it even more of a deal.  More affordable for people who want a solid and simple e-reader in their hands.  Great price to risk on a child that loves reading but might be rough on a device.

<—-Summary—->

Well played game on the e-reader front.  I think I’ll award Amazon a 3 point shot for this portion of the press conference.

All game apps are available for all Kindle e-readers with Active Content ability unless stated otherwise. This includes: Kindle, Kindle Touch, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle DX and Kindle 2nd Generation.

If you are a Kindle Fire owner, we have made accessing these lists even easier.  Free Books Buddy is an actual Kindle Fire app that you can purchase (OK – we actually are giving it away for free) and download onto your Kindle Fire.  (Disclaimer: this app is developed by us – 7 Dragons Inc.).

Just to show you how easy this app is to use – I have attached some screenshots. 

The main page of the app (as shown above) shows three primary sections: 

1. Book Offers (top section) are handpicked selections from the free books on Amazon with rating and genre visible along with the title and author.
2. Book Deals (middle section) are book deals (not free) on Amazon along with title, author, rating and genre.
3. Handpicked Books (bottom section) are some terrific book deals that you might want to look at and consider adding to your collection.

You can view the first seven books in each section by sliding the listed books left and right.  To view the full list, press on the button (All Book Offers/All Book Deals/All Books) for the section that you want to view.

Simply scroll up and down to view all the great book selections.  Find one you are interested in?  Tap on the Free/Deal/Hot button to view additional details and purchase from Amazon.  Note:  Publishers and Amazon.com may change the price of the book at any time, so please verify the price before purchasing.

Are you only interested in the latest Thrillers?  Or you love to scope out bedtime stories for your Children?  You can narrow down the genres of books displayed in Free Books Buddy by selecting Menu/Settings/Select Book Genres and checking or unchecking until you have the desired genres selected.

We hope you enjoy this app. If you do enjoy the app, we always appreciate a review left on Amazon.com

As always – if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at booksummit@ymail.com or by leaving a comment on this post.

Amazon Remains Mum
The invitations gave no clues or hints about the reason for this press conference. As usual, Amazon’s lips are tighter than my husband’s wallet. The full text states: “Please join us for an Amazon Press Conference.”

So, this leaves me with just one thing to so… SPECULATE!

Speculation — This Press Conference
The Yodeling Pickle that I have been dying to buy will be half priced.
Amazon will be introducing new Kindles!

I believe that we will soon be hearing news about the new 7″  Kindle Fire 2 and even possibly a 10″ tablet codenamed ‘Hollywood’.

The press conference is being organized by Amazon’s Kindle business.  <—– HUGE clue!

In the past, Kindle press conferences were held in New York about this time of year. The change in location from New York to Santa Monica, which is just 12 miles  from Hollywood, makes me think there is more going on than just a new Kindle launch.

More Speculation!
Maybe they chose this area of the entertainment field to also promote a new content provider, like a major network or studio.

Or maybe they’ll be introducing a smartphone. Rumors have been spreading like wild fire for months about Amazon developing a smartphone.

I guess we will just have to sit and wait it out patiently until September 6th.

Waiting…

Waiting…..

Waiting………

I’m not a patient person!  Help me out, please! Answer the question below to help distract me.

What do you think will happen at the press conference?
